Looking for space, fresh air, stimulating cultural events and exciting activities? You have arrived at exactly the right place. Finland’s seasonal contrasts and pristine natural environment provide the setting for a dazzling and inspiring variety of winter adventures and new experiences.

Finland has more of the white stuff than just about anywhere else in Europe, and nobody knows better than Finns how to make the most of this annual asset. From the Alpine ski slopes of Arctic Lapland to the well-marked cross country tracks in every part of the country, from the reindeer and snowmobile safari adventures to snowboarding and ice hotels, when it comes to snow, Finland is as cool as it gets.

Visit the enthusiastic huskies and their cuddly pups in their cosy homes. Then let them whisk you away through the sparkling winter landscape. Imagine a ride through silent, snow-covered wilds in a husky-drawn sled. The dogs can reach amazing speeds over even the hardest, deepest snow. Its great fun and a truly exhilarating experience. The safari operators will provide you with thermal suits and footwear and even teach you to drive a dog team.

Imagine standing outside on a clear dark night in Finland. You look up to the sky and see a most amazing light phenomenon … the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. Perhaps barely visible, perhaps filling half the sky, it is a spectacle which has managed to work its magic on generations of enthusiastic watchers, be they locals or visitors and pure vacationers love it.

Cross-country skiing is an integral part of Finnish culture. Snow is generally guaranteed from late November to early April, and often longer in northern parts. Finland's cross country network stretches for hundreds of kilometres and are superbly maintained and way marked. These include family-friendly trails and more demanding trails for experienced skiers, and special ski tours recommended for thrill-seekers in top physical condition.

Skiing in Finland is bliss. Spectacular views, the peace of nature and the clear spring light are unique experiences. This is why the area has become a top destination for lovers of downhill skiing. Ski at leisure on the long, gentle slopes, or get your thrills on the steeper inclines.
